Condition
The work is overall in good condition, except for the light discoloration along the top edge. Upon close inspection, there is a minor sign of tape mark at the top left corner, and very minor spots of foxing in the lower left. As in its original condition, the top right corner is unevenly cut, which is only visible when inspected unframed.
